Treating physician said no comorbidities either. Fatality was entirely COVID related.

Interestingly enough they’re discussing the same topic on the EM forum. Only ~75% of respondents over there said they would get the vaccine now compared to ~88% on our forum. Not sure what that means, if anything (I know, it’s just a survey). Would still be curious to see what the number is amongst intensivists, ID docs, etc though.

I'm surprised it is so high with the number of anti-mask anti-vaccine people over there

Yeah I dont feel bad for him. I feel sorry for all the people he put at risk on his meet and greets, and the medical professionals who had to take care of him when he got covid. He knew what he was doing. He played the game, pretended covid wasn't real, didn't wear mask, didn't social distance. He lost.
 
Less than 50% of Tier 1 healthcare workers at our large SoCal health system received the first shot of the Pfizer series in the first week it was offered. Many open slots on vaccine days and likely thawed/wasted doses. They are already opening to lower tiers...

Its new technology vaccine. I'm sure these healthcare workers have their usual vaccines and aren't antivaxxers

I remember people going crazy over the supposed Ebola threat.
Speaking of which a vaccine for it has been found since but no one cares about that.

Ok. Did he seriously pretend Covid wasn’t real?
Like he was one of those Covid is a hoax type people? Because that is real, smart.
I wish those people weren’t allowed in the hospital doors honestly.

They didn’t have to sign up? In order to ration?
Because that is really, really wasteful and poor planning on the pharmacy side.

That is horrible. Choosing not to vaccinate yourself is one thing, but denying others the right to choose is just awful. What a ****ty human.

He’s a monster. He should get more charges than what they arrested him for. Like 57 counts of felony battery or something.

Because we have a vaccine?

Reading about the mRNA vaccine you could argue that one could develop immunity against the vector which could compromise further therapies that would rely on it...

That would be the adenovirus based vaccine. I think that's JnJ's baby.

I hope I don't have those side effects, but a night of that in exchange for not having to worry about long term disability from complications of COVID still seems like a good trade off.

I have fatigue and malaise. No fever, just feel like crud. I’m happy to be off. .. of course working the last 14 days of work have kinda sucked big giant donkey balls. I’m trying to avoid taking anything. I think one of the PA’s took a day off because of the same. One of use had like one day of mild Bell’s Palsey. She had also had already had COVID.

edit. Now fever.

22 hours after the first vaccine, I suddenly felt totally exhausted, nothing more and nothing less. Lasted into the next day/afternoon.

Not looking forward to shot number 2 in a couple weeks.
 
There are some medical professionals out there telling their patients NOT to take NSAIDS/Tylenol prior to second dose for fear of “dampening the immune response.”

Anyone else have this floating around?

There is some evidence that happens in children with traditional vaccines (Link). I'm an adult and I can stand a fever and there is no chance I want to take anything to attenuate this so even though nobody told me not to take otc meds I am not taking any.

The point is why not plan on being off or light duty the next day following your second dose? There is no reason many of us can’t plan our schedules around that second shot. The hospitals are doing disservice to their employees by not offering the vaccine on weekends.
 

Effects of Prophylactic and Therapeutic Paracetamol Treatment during Vaccination on Hepatitis B Antibody Levels in Adults: Two Open-Label, Randomized Controlled Trials - PMC

Worldwide, paracetamol is administered as a remedy for complaints that occur after vaccination. Recently published results indicate that paracetamol inhibits the vaccination response in infants when given prior to vaccination. The goal of this study ...
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

The evidence seems to suggest not to take any prophylactic Tylenol before the shot but it’s safe to take Tylenol 6 hours after receiving a vaccine.
 
Got my 2nd dose yesterday. Arm was sore the next day, same as after the 1st shot. The plan remains the same as pre-vaccine. Masks at all times when in public or with anyone outside of my husband and daughters. I will continue to suggest (ignorant) nurses get vaccinated and continue to set a good example. Better 2 days of a sore arm than the "zebra" symptoms other young and healthy people have developed.
 
I took the second dose at 0900 on my call day. By 1600 I was miserable: mental fogginess, myalgia, arthralgia, chills, etc. Fortunately I had a relatively quiet call night. The symptoms got worse throughout the next 24 hours. I actually thought maybe I had managed to get COVID between injection one and two I was that miserable. I walked into work this morning and was told I looked like death warmed over. Still chills and fatigue. Fortunately a few hours later (now 48h post injection) I started feeling much better and by afternoon was back to 100%. Crazy how varied the reaction/non-reaction can be.

I'm on call tonight, will get 2nd dose as I walk out the door tomorrow. No plans for the weekend.

Call sucks enough just for being call. No need to tempt fate and get the 2nd dose as I walk in today.

Got the second shot today as I was leaving, and I have a long shift tomorrow. Rolling the dice so we'll see see what happens!
 
Is the second dose really necessary?
If you are getting such strongs side effects after the 2nd shot doesn't that prove you had a pretty good immune reponse to the 1st one?
 
Got my second shot yesterday, and I started to have chills last night. Felt bad today at work. Got home and have low grade temp 100.6 :/ I've been avoiding taking tylenol or ibuprofen because, based on no actual data, I'm worried it'll suppress the immune response which I want.
 
Is the response related to age and health conditions? Say you are young and healthy, immune system is more robust, and subsequently more side effects?

My understanding is there is some data, although weak, that taking Tylenol prior to vaccines can decrease their effectiveness. It comes up a lot in peds when parents try to preemptively treat their kids anticipating pain from shots.

I also only had a sore arm but I have only received the first dose. I think after receiving the anthrax vaccine a few times, nothing else compares, that s$*t sucks!

Yeah this 2nd shot better show up with its game face on, motivated to play if it hopes to break into the top 3
1. smallpox
2. anthrax
3. yellow fever (delivered by a pneumatic gun ... experience enhanced by the anticipation wrought by watching 100 people in line ahead of me get hit with it first)

I have a feeling you are/were also military with deployments under your belt..... I remember being in Afghanistan having mortars shot at our base, breathing smoke from the locals burning tires to stay warm, while looking at the mold above my bunk thinking to myself I’m going to die from my 3rd anthrax vaccine I felt so ****ty
